The Cactus: how a prickly heroine learns to bloom

Opis produktu:

Its never too late to bloom ... People arent sure what to make of Susan Green - family and colleagues find her prickly and hard to understand, but Susan makes perfect sense to herself.



Age 45, she thinks her life is perfect, as long as she avoids her feckless brother, Edward - a safe distance away in Birmingham. She has a London flat which is ideal for one; a job that suits her passion for logic; and a personal arrangement providing cultural and other, more intimate, benefits.
Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susans greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control. And things can only get worse ... at least in Susans eyes.



This sparkling debut is a breath of fresh air with real heart and a powerful emotional punch. In Susan we find a character as exasperating and delightful as The Rosie Projects Don Tillman. An uncompromising feminist and a fierce fighter, its a joy to watch her bloom.
